August 3, 2009

Relive the Largest Tank Battle in History

New game in the Theatre of War Series in development

Leading Eastern and Central European publisher 1C Company is
excited to announce a new game in the Theatre of War series of tactical World War
II titles. Theatre of War 2 is considered to be one the most realistic
simulation of modern battle ever played on a PC. The new game is currently in
development and is titled Theatre of War 2: Kursk 1943.

The Battle of Kursk lasted for forty nine days, from July 5
till August 23, 1943 and has made its way into history as one of the most
crucial conflicts of WWII. It was the last strategic offensive the Germans were
able to mount in the east. The resulting decisive Soviet victory gave the Red
Army the strategic initiative for the rest of the war.

The Motor Panzer Division "Greater Germany" and the 3rd
Mechanized Corps of the USSR Army will face each other in two large-scale
campaigns in southern Kursk. From the first moment of the battle until the very
last shell is fired players will be in charge of whichever side they choose.
Players will have to carefully plan each conflict and work both tactically and
strategically. The accomplishment of an objective will affect the outcome of the
entire battle like the direction the player's detachment will be forwarded in
the next combat, and also so will their reinforcements, artillery and air
support. The game will feature over 20 new story-based missions with realistic
military commanders such as Lieutenant General Ivan Chistyakov and Major General
Walter Hoerlein. 40 types of military weaponry (including air defense guns,
missile launchers, mortars), new vehicles and thirty types of small arms will be
available in both the single player campaigns and the brand new multiplayer
modes. The title will also ship with a built-in campaign generator to create
numerous game scenarios for amazing value and replayability.
